Fire King Deck #772427 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fire King and Tri-Brigade Link/Xyz boards (Sacred Fire King Garunix, High Avatar Garunix, Tri-Brigade Shuraig, The Zombie Vampire) closing through 3000-ATK bodies; Tri-Brigade and Salamangreat Link recursion from GY and banish
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a FIRE starter (Kirin, Ulcanix, Ponix), convert via Fire King Island/Sanctuary or a Link into a Tri-Brigade Link monster, and protect with Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand to hold Ash Blossom, Maxx C and Dominus Impulse for the opponent's first summon, then rebuild a board from the GY through Tri-Brigade effects
• Recovery: Fire King monsters destroyed by card effect reclaim the board via Avatar/High Avatar GY effects; Tri-Brigade links return from the GY
• After siding: No side deck is listed, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

This list is a Fire King and Tri-Brigade hybrid whose FIRE starters are reliable to open, with a 0.987 proxy for having at least one core card in the opening five (Inferred). Its interaction density is high: six hand traps, a Tri-Brigade Revolt, and several negation text cards give it layered answers, particularly on the going-second side. Consistency is capped by the 41.8% exact-name archetype purity and by off-archetype filler (Mulcharmy, Dominus, generic spells), which add redundancy while diluting the engine. The score does not come from Fire King being popular, and card scores were not averaged; no combos, tournament record or side deck are present, so the floor and median are text-only inference. The list is Illegal because it runs one Forbidden Simorgh, so the score is capped and the structural read is theoretical only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 54. Modifiers: Illegal: Forbidden card run (-6); No side deck (-4). Final formula: min(35, 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers); Illegal-deck cap applied, Meta Provisional (0.80*59 + 0.20*54 = 58, modifiers -10 -> 48, capped to 35)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.82 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Layered hand-trap and negation coverage (six hand traps plus Ash Blossom, Maxx C and Dominus Impulse)
• Strong recursion through Fire King and Tri-Brigade GY effects
• Multiple 3000-ATK closers in the Extra Deck

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: one Forbidden Simorgh copy
• Low exact-name archetype purity (41.8%) with 32 off-archetype copies
• No side deck

Critical choke points

• Simorgh is Forbidden in OCG, so the list cannot be played as built
• Tri-Brigade Link summons depend on Beast/Winged Beast material in the GY

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: one Forbidden Simorgh copy (legality.violations); Main 40 and Extra 15 are within size rules; side count is 0; Exact-name archetype purity 41.8% (composition.archetype_purity)
• Inferred: Core archetype proxy P ≈ 0.987 and searcher-text P ≈ 0.82 at 5 cards; Interaction density is high from hand-trap and negation text; Going-second hand quality from six-card probabilities
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (no tournament link or dated sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional No side deck listed
